I can’t say I’m shocked or surprised at today’s roster move by the Edmonton Oilers. I wish Calvin Pickard all the best wherever he ends up. š§”š #oilers #edmontonoilers #nhl

We will greatly miss you Picks
picks have a good one
I still think Picks can still be a decent backup goaltender but not with this club despite his numbers
What do u expect from Bowman Jackson running the show. Fire these clowns.
It was time. He was just in the press box every game. Let him play somewhere, let him go. He served his role for a while but he ran his course. Will be remembered for his time none the less.
Bye Picks, you gave us a shot in the playoffs
Pickard was the backbone of the team as Skinner was failing and what does he get? No respect. Horrible management. The same geniuses that lost Holloway Broberg McLeod foegle and now Pickard. WTF?
Thank you for coming in clutch when you needed to Picks. Well greatly miss you. Other than that, PLEASE keep Connor Ungar in Bakersfield throughout the rest of the season AND next season. The more time he develops in the AHL, the more he will become an absolutely amazing goaltender. Let him develop properly and donāt rush him like what happened with Stuart Skinner. Iāve been tracking Connor Ungarās play for a long time and he is absolutely going to be in Edmontonās starting lineup within the next couple of years (at the latest during McDavidās last year).
Went on for years about goal tending and now we move on itās so bittersweet š®āšØ I imagine the rangers pick him up to give quick a reliable partner to split the load
Pro hockey can be a tough business, thanks Pickard for all your effort ,best of luck.
Slightly different topic, but is it now fair to say that the pressure of playing in his hometown definitely affected Skinner's game? He looks pretty golden in Pittsburgh…
Can we wave mangipanei ???? Free some cap up
I am surprised. I would have given Cal another chance.
If Iām Bowman, Iām getting on my hands and knees and begging Coffey to come back.
Does this mean a trade soon
Goaltending is still an issue. Obviously so is the defense. Especially Nurse.
Had a good run !!
I wish the best for Picks, he is not only a nice guy, he has shown solid skills in playoffs time, when it mattered the most.
That aside, I said in yesterday's video that it was too risky for me right now to spend a fortune to travel from Spain to EDM to watch a game live at Rogers Place, that could potentially be another blowout… Problem solved. I will go in two weeks to Milano to watch McDavid &Co playing in the Olympics against France. Game tickets were expensive, but takes only a cheap 1.5 hours flight to get there from Barcelona… š
Man, I was just thinking after the shit show that was our last game maybe we should start Picks next game.
Calling up Ungar might be a good choice, to have a look at before the trade deadline. Knobby did admit that he pulled Ingram prematurely in that game.
In this highly skilled modern NHL you need disciplined defence. Any goalie left out to hang and dry by himself will show bad save %. The Oilers donāt have consistent defence. Good goalies can have their confidence shaken in Edmonton. Proven many times already. When will this broken system get fixed? By whom? Until then we keep on losing cups and Connorās GONE.
Such a frigging shame. If this team figures that the netminders are the issue they should just pack it in. They the really th8nk with all the goalies this team has gone through that its the issue? They are absolutely brutal defensively and it shows. Now Jarry and Ingram will be the escape goats you just wait and see! If they th8nk they will get into and make it to the finals they have alot of work to do. Floating by the seat of their pants just won't do it. You don't see good teams letting there goalie hand to dry! Colorado, Detroit ect all have stable D and it shows. This is getting to be too much.
Rip big d!ck picks.. my goat š¢
WTF, FIRE BOWMAN!!!! JARRY SUCKS IM SORRY TO SAY!!!! WE LOSE PICKARD PHUK YOU BOWMAN
Best back up i donāt care what anyone sayz
Oilers Home Game Against Maple Leafs Is On Tuesday Not On Monday
Crazy man absolutely crazy that the two goalies that have taken you guys to the Stanley Cup finals two years in a row are gone. I donāt think he clears waivers.
I love you Picks. Now go on and get š¢ GET š¢š¢
Sad but I bet he's excited to at least be able to play in games again!
Started with two goalies this year in cup run season and both are gone.
Bye Pickard
Well, whatever happens. Edmonton will always love Cal. Heās a damn good soldier and shows up when heās needed. Whether itās with the Oilers or another team. I hope he doesnāt get forced to play in the AHL. Heās way too good of a back up for that.
Full goalie overhaul and we're still creating the same shitty defensive lapses and selling out our goalies! Doesn't matter who they are, of our defense continues to be lame then no great goalie will help our cause!!
Only reason Oilers are in a playoff spot is their powerplay. Once that cools its over. Preseason I said no final 4 and sticking with that prediction. Only way Oilers get saved if Calgary sends them Backlund and Coleman for Trent and Andrew and that trade will be very costly indeed and all need agree to the trade.
Dumber than dumb, I'd rather have Picks than Jarry any day of the week
Just came back from rogers place watching oilers skills competition and indeed, no pickard there. Really sad but off to the next. Godbless you Pickard š oil country loves you ā¤
Thanks for all youāve done picks – sucks he has to go. Letās hope Fred, mangiapane, Henrique and Janmark are next to be cut
Pickard a huge favourite
Good guy or not, stop a puck, stick around!
The Oilers should get power forward Bobby McMann he has speed and is having a career year with the leafs. They would potentially give up a 2nd and a prospect what do you think.
If game 5 of the 2025 Stanley Cup finals had gone differently, maybe Pickard would now be the first-spot goalie. His 6-game win streak in the playoffs when the team needed it was legendary. Wish the Oilers would keep him
What if minnesota claims him? Elliot Friedeman, is this a baseless theory?
Sometimes a goalie has to stand on his head – the Wild had some of that last night ! Pics will be missed – Jarry making coments bout his team having to play better in front of him ( wtf ) Jarrys puck control SUCKS ! – but thats just My pinion !
